The Procedure Under Genital Cosmetic Surgeries

Labiaplasty- This surgical procedure involves surgery of labia minora, the inner lip and in rare cases involves the surgery of the labia majora, the outer lip. Labiaplasty of the labia minora is a very commonly performed procedure in genital cosmetic surgery series. The procedure involves reducing the size of the inner lips so that they do not protrude below the outer lips. It is also used to rectify the asymmetry of the lips where one lip is remarkably different from the other one in shape, size and structure. Most of the women undergo a labiaplasty to get rid of certain issues like chafing, irritation and are also responsible for bounding their participation in various physical activities such as bike riding. However, the remaining percentage of women may choose to undergo a labiaplasty because of their embarrassment about the appearance of their labia.

Vaginoplasty- The vaginoplasty procedure encompasses the tightening of the inner side of the vagina and the vaginal opening by removing excess tissue from the vaginal lining. This surgical procedure results in providing a vagina which is even tighter and smaller in diameter. Vaginoplasty has been proved as an effective treatment for those women who have lost vaginal tightness due to childbirth.

Hymenoplasty- Hymenoplasty procedure helps in the reconstruction of the hymen layer. The hymen is the thin inner membrane of the skin that partially covers the vaginal entrance. So in this surgery, the edges of torn hymen layer are reconnected so that when sexual intercourse takes place the membrane will tear apart and they will bleed. Hymenoplasty is a predominantly performed procedure which is mainly executed for certain religious and cultural issues. The Hymenoplasty procedure is also popular as re-virgination.

Labia majora augmentation- This procedure encompasses pumping up of the outer lips by injecting some amount of fatty tissues from the patient’s other part of the body.

Vulval lipoplasty- Vulval lipoplasty procedure involves the implementation of liposuction to remove the fat deposits from the mons pubis which is a pad of fatty tissues that is covered by pubic hair. Though the result portrayed in the mons pubis is not so prominent.

G-spot Augmentation– The G-spot augmentation is a procedure which involves injecting a collagen-like substance into the G-spot. This helps in enhancing the size of the G-spot which in turn increases the sexual pleasure of the woman. The effects generally last for about 3 to 4 months on an average. To keep the results to last longer, the procedure needs to be repeated over and over again.

Clitoral hood reduction- The clitoral hood procedure involves decreasing the hood of the skin which surrounds the clitoris, thus exposing the heads of the clits that typically lies underneath. A clitoral hood reduction is particularly aimed at providing stimulation and increasing the sexual pleasure of the female. The clitoral hood reduction is also popular as hoodectomy.
